    A mystery single ended SV-811 amplifier

    This came from a recent estate. Searched the interwebs, and can find no origin. Appears to be kit based. The construction is similar to the Bottlehead kits. I can say that it sounds glorious. If anyone recognizes it, I'd love to hear.

    Hot Weather Tube Based System AKA Analog Room #1

    I have had this SET 45 amp for around 6 or 7 weeks, not much power but on the right recordings WOW. The Hot weather part is this amp does not get hot I can touch the output tubes while playing, the Fisher 400-C pre, also does not get hot.

    Why are chip amps often described as having "tube sound"? What are the similarities between them??

    Alright, I often read chip amps being described as having sound similar to that of tube amps. Why? Are there really similar characteristics between chip amplifiers and tube amplifiers? And if there are, what are they? This one is an example: I have -- deliberately I might add -- refrained from...

    Hi all, I have decided to try out a SET amp and have an Elekit TU-8600 kit on its way. I need 300B tubes, and narrowed down my selection to JJ and Gold Lion. I am only interested in new tubes. The Gold Lion's get really good reviews but so do the JJ. Does anyone here have hands on experience...
